The BeNaughty New Zealand user test is based on thorough usage and exploration of BeNaughty. To produce an overall overview of the user experience we created a profile on the platform and browsed through it like a normal user (man looking for woman).

The site has mainly full profiles and asks its members to fill in fields about their sexual preferences, their favourite style of porn etc. So the hook up nature of the service is make pretty clear to all from the get go. Nobody should be in any doubt that BeNaughty is a hook up site.

Activity Test

To attain an view of the number of members online, we ran a matches count assessment. Dating portals come in loads of varied formats, but always the most important thing for the client is how many contacts he or she has. How many people get in touch and how many people react to messages. Our interaction ranking produces a measure against this all-important assessment for every site we look at. BeNaughty New Zealand did really well in this test. There were stacks of members online and it looked like a reputable spread of users across the nation.

BeNaughty New Zealand profiles

The profiles we viewed on BeNaughty were attractive. Most had a minimum of one picture uploaded and reasonable levels of written information. Above all most of the women looked hot. There was a range of shapes and sizes, but in the round, largely attractive types - especially by the standards of sex dating services like this.

Are there any fake profiles on BeNaughty?

Scammers are an issue for all dating firms and often the test of a service is not whether they have fake profiles on their books, but how many. However, our impression of BeNaughty New Zealand was reassuring in this regard. BeNaughty has a really impressive procedure of profile validation and the majority of profiles looked authentic to us.

5. Is BeNaughty New Zealand a good deal?

The large majority of dating sites hand out a free introduction to their product, but to use the service properly and make contact with other users you have to pay for Premium Membership. BeNaughty New Zealand is no exception and to chat with your contacts, you are going to have to pay a fee. We don’t quibble with the need for this. In the end, customers always need to pay if they want to use a reliable service. Rather, we concentrate on how BeNaughty New Zealand does on a ‘value for money’ reckoning. Is it good value relative to other sites on the market?

*these prices were current at the time of writing, but may change

We recommend you go for the six month package. It’s a substantial initial price, but once you’ve made this commitment you’ll be able to really settle down and take your time to use the service well.

Final tip: A well-organized date is a work of art and, very often, the gel that brings your night out to a successful conclusion. You need to show your date that you know what you’re doing and that they can always have a fun time if they come out with you. Take them to a great bar or restaurant and whether they like you or not, they will be grateful for the introduction.
